This has already been answered (it does), but it’s worth note that if they don’t have your finalized information (actual tax forms instead of FAFSA guesstimates) the aid award is a preliminary letter, and when they get the final information is when they send you a letter you sign and return.</p>
<p>I got my financial aid information today, and I’m extremely happy! The aid I received was generous and was definitely enough to keep Grinnell at the top of my list. I’m ecstatic. :)</p>
<p>Ahh… in SoCal but still no letter on the 26th!
IlikeDice, how?!
…maybe they mailed rejections later? :(</p>
<p>I live like 30 minutes away from LA (in La Habra, if you know where that is), I’m sorry you haven’t received anything yet :(.</p>
<p>My son got everything a day or two later than people on CC. Don’t worry yet–though I worried about everything!</p>
<p>i havent heard back yet, but im hoping the fact that i live on the east coast means that my letter is just taking its time to get here. i kind of feel like they’re holding back all rejection letters. i mean, youd think one reject would have posted on this board by now. oh well, grinnell’s a reach anyway!</p>
<p>It taking longer doesn’t always point to rejection- sure, sometimes it does, but I’ve heard people getting letters a week later than other CCers but still getting in. Don’t worry about it until you actually read the letter. I thought I would be rejected from one of my semi-safeties because I didn’t get the accepted email… was accepted into Honors! Funny how that happens.</p>
<p>I haven’t gotten mine in PA but Grinnell was a reach… I’m not really on pins and needles because I’ve gotten a lot of nice news so far…</p>
<p>I just got my award letter today! And I’m stoked about it! They’re very generous indeed. (I was accepted early RD and live in Hawaii.)</p>
<p>So everyone who is still waiting/accepted go to your pioneerweb account and click on change address. There is a space for your email. Has it been changed to <a href=“mailto:lastnamefirstinitial@grinnell.edu”>lastnamefirstinitial@grinnell.edu</a>? Because mine has and I haven’t heard from them yet and I’m wondering if it means anything.</p>
<p>I was accepted and it is in that format. I don’t really know what that indicates because I did not notice that before. good luck to those who are still waiting!</p>
<p>If you haven’t received your stuff yet, I wouldn’t worry too much. I think the reason I got mine today is that I live in Missouri.</p>
<p>I haven’t gotten mine yet, and I live in Missouri too! This does not bode well for my academic future.</p>
<p>I’m really hoping you’re onto something with the pioneerweb e-mail address!</p>
<p>My letter hasn’t come yet, but my address is changed. Please let this mean I’m in…</p>
<p>On a side note, I seriously think the mailman is hoarding my college mail. I was supposed to get several decisions and a financial aid packet today, and none of them have come. See if he gets a Christmas present next year.</p>
<p>I wish my mailman would hoard my mail at this point. All the sudden I’m getting these e-mails from colleges where I already withdrew my application telling me my decision is in the mail or will be posted online or whatever. A couple nights ago I got a congratulatory e-mail from Duke saying I was accepted, from the very admissions counselor I told to withdraw my application in February.</p>
<p>Are you actually complaining about the fact that you got into Duke?</p>
<p>Well, I guess it’s good for my ego (although I’ll probably come out behind on accepts/rejects if I get a bunch of decision letters), but I’m already committed to Grinnell. It bothers me that I’m getting accepted somewhere, and taking a spot from someone else, when I’ve already “confirmed” a withdrawal of my application.</p>
<p>I guess I can understand that, but still…</p>
<p>So anyways, about the @grinnell.edu, does anyone NOT have that as their address? If a rejected student could confirm that theirs didn’t change, I think that would make a pretty strong case for assuming acceptance if your email was changed to @grinnell.edu.</p>
<p>I also have the Grinnell email address, however, I do not know if that indicates wheather or not I was accepted. Also, I did not check before hand.</p>
<p>My address changed, so I don’t know what to think. I live five hours away by car though, so I’d think I’d have gotten my mail by now.</p>
<p>Ok, so I have tried to email to my grinnell address, however the address was rejected; I do not think that it means anything, however I hope that I’m wrong.</p>
